FNAF: Fazbear Fright

Third Night

I walked back into the office that night, right on the hour of twelve. As soon as I did, I opened the camera and tried to find the enigmatic Springtrap. My first thought was the arcade, for logical reasons. When I flipped there, though, I couldn't see any sign of it.

'Cleo must've moved it when she examined it,' I thought to myself. 'Heck, it's probably not even here! It's probably at her workshop.'

Before I could think much longer about it, my phone rang. I looked and saw it was Guy. No shocker there. I then answered the phone and put it to my ear.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Uh, hello, hello?"

I groaned; it was the same guy from the recording yesterday. Guy must've thought it would be funny to play the tapes every night.

"Uh, for today's lesson, we will be continuing our training on proper suit-handling techniques."

Well, I suppose I don't have anything better to do than to listen.

"When using an animatronic as a suit, please ensure that the animatronic parts are tightly compressed and fastened by the spring locks located around the inside of the suit. It may take a few moments to position your head and torso between these parts in a manner where you can move and speak."

I'm still amazed there was a point in time where you could wear the animatronics as suits, especially in the mid-20th century.

"Try not to nudge or press against any of the spring locks inside the suit. Do not touch the spring locks at any time. Do not breathe on the spring locks, as moisture may loosen them and cause them to break loose."

Whoa! Talk about sensitive equipment!

"In the case of the spring locks coming loose while you are wearing the suit, please try to maneuver away from populated areas before bleeding out, as to not ruin the customers' experience."

Wait...what the hell kind of instructions are those?!

"As always, if there is ever an emergency, please go to the designated safe room."

Safe room? Why have I never heard anything about a safe room before?

"Every location is built with one extra room that is not included in the digital map layout in the animatronics or the security cameras. This room is hidden to customers, invisible to animatronics, and is always off-camera."

Huh. It's as if an ancient recording could read my mind.

"As always, remember to smile; you are the face of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza."

I then heard silence that signaled the end of the tape. With that, I hung up and began thinking. The suits back then could be worn by people, yet were dangerous enough to harm you by even breathing? That's messed up...

And the thought of a secret "safe room" is bugging me. Surely somebody would've spilled the beans about such a room; this was around 50 years ago! Well, either way, I suppose it's not that important.

I opened the camera back up and scrolled through the building. I saw an empty Bonnie shell, a Foxy head on the wall, a Chica head shining on the floor, and a yellow bunny by the entrance. Wait. What?!

Sure enough, I saw it clearly in Cam 10, right by the entrance of the attraction. It was peeking its head right at the bottom-right side of the screen.

Well, maybe Cleo meant to take it home tonight and never got around to it. I suppose it would be safer here, anyway; this animatronic is our biggest break and we can't afford something happening to it!

I then closed the screen and stretched my legs. I'm officially bored. I began thinking of something to do. I'm not really in the mood for Flappy Bird...I suppose I could try something Johnny claimed to do his first night on the job. Or, was his name Jerry? Eh, something close to that.

I pulled out my phone and opened my sudoku app. I've always been a fan of puzzles, especially ones involving numbers. Now, let's see...I think the 3 goes here, next to the the 7.

A while later, I heard a clinking noise. I looked at the clock and saw it was 1 am. Well, at least I got an hour of relaxation. I opened the screen and looked. It was still on Cam 10, but something was missing...

I couldn't see any sign of Springtrap anywhere by the entrance! I could swear he was there earlier...! I flipped to Cam 9, which was the other end of the hallway, and I actually jumped a bit; right along the lefthand side of the screen was a dark silhouette...with a glowing white eye!

Suddenly a thought hit me. A thought I should have realized earlier: it was already repaired! Cleo must've fixed it earlier, and Guy and Chuck must've decided it would be funny to test it on me without me knowing. Well, they can try and scare me all they want; it's not going to work.

I then flipped back to Cam 10, mostly out of boredom. Then, just to get used to my future job, I pressed the "Play Audio" button.

"Hello?"

The creepy voice echoed through the speaker as I played the sound. Suddenly, a few seconds later, I saw a creepy face appear back in the camera! I jumped when it appeared, but I could instantly recognize it to be our new animatronic.

At first, I found it to be chance, but that's when I remembered the phone call from yesterday; the guy in the recordings said the robots were attracted to sound waves! I suppose this confirms that this thing is fixed. This will also be beneficial to us; it'll guarantee that Springtrap will follow the people in the attraction!

Suddenly, the camera went black and the only thing that could be seen was "Video Error" in the top left corner. Damn old-school technology...

I closed the camera and was about to roll over to the maintenence panel before I saw something that made me freeze. In the window in front of me, slowly inching across the hall, was a dark figure. It was big and appeared to be holding a microphone and wearing a top hat.

Suddenly, it ducked down and out of sight. I continued to sit frozen. Did I really just see that?! Maybe I ought to reset the ventilation, too...

I went to the maintenence panel and opened it up. I saw "error" flashing next to the "camera feed" option. I tapped the screen and waited for it to reset. When it did, I closed the screen and was about to head back to the camera.

Suddenly, before I could move, a familiar face came up right in front of me! It was a cartoon-looking bear with a top hat and only one ear. Its eyes were glowing white, its body was pitch black, and it let out a giant scream!

It was only there for a second before it disappeared and I could only see flashing red lights. I was still frozen for a second, but I then went back to my panel and saw my ventilation was offline! I went to reset it and sat still as I heard my breathing get softer and softer.

Finally, I took a deep breath and realized I was good now. I finally scrolled back to the camera to find Springtrap. Cam 10 was empty, which was not promising. I went to Cam 9 and saw the dark bunny silhouette again. I suppose as long as I know where he is, I don't see a problem. Besides, what's he going to do? Scare me?

I kept looking at him from time to time, keeping track of his position. He kept going between the two cameras, though, so it wasn't that difficult. The cameras went out a few times, but no difficulties this time reseting them. I kept reseting the ventilation, though, just to be safe.

Finally, I heard the clock chime above me. It was 6 am. Huh. Time went by pretty fast. Anyway, Springtrap was by the entrance, where he was at the start of the night.

Chuck will be here any minute. I can't wait to tell him I wasn't scared by his little machine.
